2. Evidence to support your interest in the program; complete and submit each of the following items:
- A typed, signed letter from a supervisor or other appropriate person; the letter should support your participation in the program and its benefits to you professionally. (This is not a confidential recommendation.)

Admission Decision Process
The admissions committee will evaluate all material submitted and will make its decision. The committee may request additional documentation and/or a personal interview. When a decision is made, a letter detailing the decision will be sent to you. If you are granted restricted admission, the conditions of admission will be explained in the acceptance letter. After a student's admission to GSE, additional screenings and assessments may be administered in specific programs.
